Many Sugar, Face Looks Older


Be careful if someone accustomed to consume drinks or food, even snacks rich in sugar content. Sebuat latest research states, high blood sugar that affects a person in the long term will result in a person look older than his age.

The findings revealed the existence of a joint study between the Leiden University Medical Centre and Unilever R & D found for the first time, the relationship between blood sugar levels in humans and facial age (the age of the face).

From these studies note that people aged between 50-70 years with high sugar levels seem older than their lower blood sugar levels. Shown that for every increase of 1 mmol / liter of blood sugar levels, a person's face will look older than 5 months.

Tests conducted on 600 men and women in the Netherlands on blood sugar levels (without fasting). The study was published in AGE, initiative Netherlands Consortium for Healthy Ageing which aims to understand how health can be maintained when a person's age increases

Diana van Heemst, associate professor at Leiden University Medical Center said,''The results of this study further demonstrates the importance of controlling blood sugar levels to one's health in middle age. Perhaps looked younger could be a motivation for someone to change his lifestyle to become healthier at around the age of 50-70 years.''

David Gunn, a senior scientist at Unilever R & D laboratory at Colworth Science Park said,''The first study is once again proving that the blood sugar levels are constantly high is not good for health also makes a person does not look young.''
